Poser 12 F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Oct 22 2:54 pm)
Welcome to the Poser Forums! Need help with these versions, advice on upgrading? Etc...you've arrived at the right place!

When they originally announced Poser 12, they said the Mac version would be released in "early December." I would not be surprised if they were running behind schedule.
Poser 11 apparently runs on Big Sur, so I would guess Poser 12 will run on Catalina. However, if the Windows version is any example, expect some bugs.
This was in my inbox on 16th December 2020.
Beyond that, I have no information.
Verbosity: Profusely promulgating Graham's number epics of complete and utter verbiage by the metric monkey barrel.
Support for M1 GPU is more than unlikely. The current Blender Cycles has dropped openCL and CUDA for macOS, means no support for any GPU. AFAIK there are no plans to port Cycles to Metal and since SuperFly is based on Cycles, there will be no version for M1 GPU. Maybe in a few years when Blender has been ported to Vulkan we will see support for metal in Cycles.

Nooooooo!!!
Great. Been waiting to see who supports M1 first, Poser or [the competition]. It looks like I will have PLENTY of time to decide as [the competition] doesn't even run under Big Sur on my Intel MacBook and isn't expected to until 'mid 2021.'
When you want my money, release a working Mac Version. Releasing ahead of brand X will almost assure you of the sale.
Mac OS X 10.15 or higher (64-bit OS required) 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (64-bit CPU required) 4 GB system RAM (8 GB or more recommended) OpenGL enabled graphics card or chipset recommended (recent nVIDIA GeForce and ATI Radeon required for advanced real-time preview features) 24-bit color display, 1440 x 900 minimum resolution 3 GB free hard disk space (20 GB required to install all included content) DVD-ROM drive (physical product only) Internet connection for updates and required online activation.

I took the Poser survey last year and received a code for 10% off the upgrade from Poser 11 to Poser 12. That code is not working for me to purchase the Mac Poser 12 upgrade. I've entered my valid Poser 11 serial number. Mystified as to what I'm doing wrong. Anyone here able to shed some light on this? :)
Message during checkout: "You do not have permission to use this coupon"
I copied/pasted the coupon directly from my email.

Old counting of RAM is dead huh, data is now stored in thin air … Don’t get me wrong the M1 is quite good but nothing for me. Maybe upcoming CPU versions but i don’t support that company anymore. Apple has stated that their MacPros are still delivered with Intel CPUs until they have an ARM based Desktop CPU available.
Thank you for keeping us informed on how well Poser 12 runs on your M1 Mac, tburzio!
A couple of months ago, I replaced my old iMac with a 16" MacBook Pro, 2.4GHz i9, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 8GB AMD Radeon Pro 5500M. Primarily to run DAZ Studio on since I could still get a new Intel Mac running Catalina instead of Big Sur.
A couple of weeks ago, I bought an M1 MacBook Air, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB RAM, 1 TB SSD. I haven't yet installed Poser 12 on it, nor moved my runtimes over.
I'm highly encouraged to jump in now and start using Poser 12 on the M1 MacBook Air, thanks to your information here.
Thank you!

I'm on a new MacBook Pro running Catalina at present and would like to upgrade my Poser 11 Pro to Poser 12.
Does anyone have an idea about when the Mac OS version will be released or whether it will be compatible with Catalina and above?
